This month marks one year of monthly meetings by our ESFL Reparations Reading Group. We have read books and articles, watched films, listened to scholars, and shared our ideas with each other. In the beginning of this new year, some of our efforts came to fruition when the St. Paul City Council unanimously passed a resolution “Committing to Racial Healing Through the Exploration of Reparations for American Descendants of Chattel Slavery Living in Saint Paul.”
Our February meeting will focus on the discussion of this resolution. You can find the text here. We would also like to examine this resolution in the context of measures adopted by other cities. Please review:
